T0 all whom t may concern:

Be it known that ll, VILLIAM A. RUDDELL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Asbury Park inthe county of Monmouth and State of blewJersey, have invented cern tain new and useful Improvements in GlovePatterns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in garment patterns and moreespeciallyr to an improved pattern assemblage by the use of which glovesand other hand coverings maybe accurately cut from any desired andsuitable material and the component parts assembled and united withoutthe exercise of any particular skill, so that one supplied with thepattern may produce any desired number of gloves for personal use or mayengage in the manufacture of gloves on a commercial basis.

Another object of the invention is to produce a pattern assemblage inwhich the component parts will bear a novel arrangement of symbolsindicating the mannerin which blanks cut by the aid of the pattern partsare to be assembled and united to produce the completed glove or otherhand covering.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the main or body pattern part of theassemblage; n

Figure 2 is a plan view of the thumb part of the pattern assemblage;

Figure 3 is a group view illustrating in plan pattern parts which bearrelation to the first finger, second finger and little linger;

Figure l is a plan view of the pattern part` to be employed in producing,a blank for gauntlet culi' 5 Figure 5 is a similar view illustratingan-v other patternpart for producing a gauntlet cuff blank;

Figure 6 is a plan view illustrating a pattern part for the productionof a wrist blank; y y

Figure 7 is asimilar View illustrating another pattern part for theproduction of a wrist blank;

Figure 8 is a plan View illustrating a pattern part for the productionof a sleeve protector blankk to be employed in connection with the handcovering proper.

rlhe pattern assemblage illustrated in the drawings is designed for use'in cutting out a plurality of blanks, from any desired inaterial, whichblanks are to be united kto produce "a hand covering of theglove typebut it will be understood, particularly' after a consideration of thespecific description of this embodiment of the invention whichy is tofollow, that the principles of the invention may be carried out in theproduction of mittens,l gloves havingl component parts or contours otherthan those indicated by the contours of the pattern parts shown in thedrawings, and in fact hand coverings of any and all designs andregardless of the use to which they are to be put.

ln the drawings, the main pattern part, which is illustrated in Figure1, is indicated in general by the numeral 1, and it like all ofthe otherpattern parts illustrated in the other gures of the drawings, may beformed from paper or any other sheet material which it is founddesirable to employ. rlhe main pattern part 1 comprises a palm portion2, an index finger portion 3, a first finger portion 4, a second fingerpor-` tionk 5, a little finger portion 6, and a thumb portion y7, therfinger ortions 4C, 5 and 6 being integrally joinek with the upper partof the palm portion 2 and being mutually separatedy by incisions 8 and9. The first finger portion lis likewise separated from the index fingerby an incision 10. Thefinger` portions 4 5 and tirare of a marginal.contour and dimensions to provide, in the blank cut from the pattern 1,a covering for the inner sides of the first, second and little fingers.The index finger portion 3 on the otherhand is of a width such that theblank part corresponding thereto, when properly folded and marginallystitched, will provide the complete stallv for the index finger, thisindex finger portion 3 at its i upper margin being scalloped at anintermediate point, as indicated by the numeral 11, so that the roundedmarginal portions 12' and 13 lying at opposite sides of the scallop,will define the contour of the tip of the index linger when'the blankcut from the patterny is properly stitched. That lateral margin of thepattern part 1 which defines oneboundary of the index linger portionl,

is cut in as indicatedat 14 substantially atv a point corresponding tothe Lbase of the index finger'below which portion the margin is straightas indicated by the numeral r15. The lower portion ofthe pattern part 1corresponds to the wrist line of a `blank cut therefrom, as indicated bythe numeral 16, and the thumb portion 7 is defined by incisions 17 and18 which `extend inwardly from the margin 16 along lines curving towardeach other, the inner end of the incision 17 being located approximatelyvertically in alinement below the inner end of the incision 10, and theinner end ol the incision 18 being located approximately 1n verticalalinement below the scallop 11. Likewise the inner ends or" theincisions 17 and 18 terminate adjacent the transverse median line of thepalm portion 2 of the pattern partl. The other lateral margin of thepattern part 1, which is indicated by the numeral 19, is straight andparallel to the margin 15 and defines one lateral edge of the palmportion 2 and one lateral edge of the little linger portion 6.

As heretofore stated the invention comtemplates providing the patternparts with indicating symbols so arranged as to indicate the precisemanner in which the blanks cut by the aid of these parts are to beassembled and stitched together. Thus in the case of the pattern part 1,symbols comprising the letters of the alphabet are printed or otherwisemarked upon one or both faces of the said pattern part and by referenceto Figure 1 it will be observed that the letter A is located upon thetace or' the palm portion 2 near the wrist line 16 and at one side oi'and close to the point where the incision 18 opens through the saidwrist line or margin, this reference character, being the first letterin the alphabet, indicating the starting point for the stitchingoperation, and pre1- erably there is printed upon the tace of the blankin juxtaposition to the letter allegend such for example as Start to sewhere, as indicated by the numeral 20. The letter B is located at theinner end of the incision 18, C at the tip end of the thumb portion 7,l) at the inner end of the incision 17, and E at one sideot and adjacentto the point where the incision 17 opens through the margin 16. Theletter F is repeated at intervals upon 'the tace or .the pattern part 1along the margin 15 and incut margin la, and the letter l is repeated atintervals along the margin 19. The letter J is repeated upon the face ofthe blank at intervals along the curved marginal portions 12 and 13 andat the point of the scallop of the index ringer 3, and the letters L, Nand O are located at the tips of the iinger portions a, 5 and 6respectvely.

The index iinger portion 3, and the i'irst, second and little fingerportions 4l, 5 and 6, are indicated individually by appropriate legends,as is also the thumb portion 7, suitably identigtying these portions ofthe pattern part. s

The pattern part shown in Figure 1 may be employed, in conjunction withother pattern parts to be presently described, in cutting out the blankswhich are to comprise a glove having a closed wrist but in order toadapt the pattern part 1 'for use where a glove is to be produced withan open wrist designed to be closed by one ot more buttons or clasps,there is printed or otherwise indi cated, as at 21, upon the tace ot thepattern 1, a line 21 along which an incision may be made in the palmportion of the blank being cut extending inwardly from the wrist line ormargin 16, and the said palm portion of the pattern part may bear, injuxtaposition to this line, any appropriate legend such lfor example asOnly cut or sew at this line when button or clasp gloves are desired.7

Figure 2 oit the drawings illustrates in plan a pattern part which isindicated by the numeral 22 and which is to be employed in cutting out ablank which when assembled with and united to the blank cut by the useot the pattern part 1, will complete the thumb stall oi the glove orother hand covering and close the opening vacated by the part oi thesecond-mentioncd blank corresponding to the thumb portion 7 or thepattern 1. The pattern part 22 has a basal marginal portion 23 which isstraight and the pattern part has other lateral marginal portions 24 and2 5 which extend 'from the ends of the marginal portion along diverginglines to a point approximately at the transverse middle or the patternpart 22 where they join other marginal portions 26 and 27 respectivelywhich latter converge and are joined at their relatively adjacent endsby a curved marginal portion 2S defining the tip ci the thumb blank tobe cut, the curvature et this tip corresponding to the curvature ot thetip otl the thumb portion 7 of the pattern part 1. Symbols are printedupon the tace ot the pattern part 22 preferably in the following order:rll`he letter A at the juncture of the marginal portions 23 and 2st; theletter .l at the juncture ot the marginal portions 21 and 26; the letterC in juxtaposition to the marginal portion.y 23; the letter D at thejuncture of the marginal. portions and 27; and, the letter E at thejuncture et the marginal portions 23 and Figure 3 ot the drawingsillustrates three other pattern partsrepresentative of the first linger,second iinger, and little linger, and indicated respectively by thenumerals 29, 30 and 31 and each bearing a suitable indicating legend.The pattern part 2S) represents the first linger and which is acompanion part to the portion 4 of the pattern part 1, and comprises arelatively broad upper portion 32 and a relatively narrow lower portion33, the portion 32 at its tip having a curvilinear margin 34, and thelateral margins or edges of the pattern part as a whole being cut inalong curved lines, as at 35, at the juncture or the portions 32 and 33.The portion 32 is of a length substantially equivalent to the portion 4ot the pattern part 1 'but is broader than said portion,y and theportion 33 is of a length substan-v tially equivalent to the distancebetween the base of the portion 4 and the wrist line or lower margin 16of the said pattern part 1. The pattern part 297 like the pattern parts1 and 22, is provided with designating symbols preferably as ollowst-The letter F is repeated at intervals along one lateral margin oi' theportion 33 from the lower end of the said portion to its juncture withthe portion 32; the letter Gr is repeated at intervals in the likemanner and for a like distance along the other lateral margin of theportion 33 g and7 the letter L is located at the tip ot' the portion 32in juxtaposition to the margin 34. n rlhe pattern part 30 is verysimilarinits marginal contour to the pattern part 29 and comprises a relativelybroad upper portion v36 and a narrow lower portion 37 the lateralmargins of the pattern part being cut in at the juncture oi' the`portions 36 and 37, along curved lines, as indicated bythe numerals 38and 397 the curvilinear mar inal portion 38 extending to Substantially te same distance above the lower end of the portion 37 as the marginalportions 35 of the pattern part 29, and themarginal portions 39terminating at a lower point. v

The pattern part 30 bears upon its face guiding symbols preferably asfollows:- The letter G is repeated'at intervals along that lateralmargin of the blank of which the portion 38 constitutes a part and fromthe lower end of the blank to the juncture of the parts 36 and 37 theletter H is similarly repeated at intervals along the opposite margin ofthe blank; and, the letter N is located in juxtaposition to the tip ofthe portion 36. The pattern part 31 comprises an upper relatively broadportion 40 and a narrow lower portion 41, one lateral edge ot thispattern part being substantially straight throughout its entire lengthand indicated by the numeral 42 andthe other lateral edge being cut inalong a curved line, as at 43, at the juncture of the portions 40 andk41 and to a degree and in a locationcor-responding to the cut in edgeportion 39 of the pattern partk30. On this pattern part the letter H isrepeated at intervals along the last-men.- tioned lateral margin of thepart from the lower end of the portion 41 to the upper' end of the cutin marginal portion 43; the

letter I is repeated at intervals throughout the entire length of thestraight margin 42; and, the letter O is located in juxtaposition to thetip of the portion 40, the tip of this portion as well as that of theportion36 of the part 30 being of curvilinear form. The pattern parts 30and 31 respectively constitute companion parts for the portions 5 and 6of thepattern part 17 and likethe pattern j part 29 andits associatedportion 4, the broader upper portions of the said pattern parts 30 and31 correspond in length substantially to the length of the respectiveportions 5 and 6, their lower portions being ofalength substantiallyequalfto the distance between the lower ends of the portions 5 and 6 ofthe pattern part 1 and the margin 16 of said part. j

In the use otthose parts of the pattern assemblage which have been ythusfar described, blanks are cut by the aid of these parts, in anyconvenient manner, from the material of whicitythe giove or other handcovering is to beomad'e; and aiterthe blanks have been cut they areunited ina manner which will nowbe explained, and for the sake ofconvenience reference will be had to the blanks as though they bear thedesignating letterspeculiar to the pattern parts by the aid of whichthey were cut. The

thumb portion `oiz the blank cut by the aid of the pattern part lisfolded back on a line extending between thepoints D and B, and thethumbk blank out by the aid of the pattern part 22 is then associatedwith the iirst-mentioned blank in a position inverted with relation tothe position of ythe pattern part 22 illustrated in Figure 2 and withthe corners adjacent theyletters A upon the two blanks in registration,and stitching is run along the margins of the blanks from the point A tothe point B. yNext the blank corresponding to the pattern Lpart 22 isunited to the' margin of the -thumb portion of the blank correspondingto the thumb portion of the pattern part 1 along the marginal lineindicated successively by the letters B, C and l), andfinally the blanksare stitched together yalong the marginal line from D to SE. Thus thespace vacated by the thumb `portion of the blank cut by the aid of thepattern. part 1 is closed and the thumb stall is completed. The blankcut by the aid ot the pattern part 1 is ,then

overturned along vthe line extending substantially from Athe scallop 11to the inner end ot the incision 18, and the curvilinear v Athe blankcut by the aid of the pattern part 29 is applied to the partly finishedarticle by bringing the marginal portion thereof deiined by the lettersl? into registration with the marginal portion 15 defined yby thecorresponding letters, and a line of stitcln ing is run along thesemarginal portions. Also the upper portion 32 of theblank cut the line ofthey by the aid of the part 29 is united from F kto L and :from L to Grmarginally to the portion 4 of the blank cut by the aid of the patternpart l. Next, the blank cut by the aid ofthe part 30 is assembled withand united along the marginal portion indicated by the letters G to thecorresponding marginal portion of the blank cut by the aid of thepattern part 29, andthe blank cut by the aid of the pattern part 30 isthen united from G toN and from N to H marginally to the part 5 of theblank cut by the aid of the pattern part l. Next, the blank cut by theaid of the pattern part 3l is united along the marginal portiondesignated by the letters H to the corresponding marginal` portion ofthe blank cut by the aid of the pattern part 39 and similarly unitedmarginally from H to O and from O to I and throughout the margin 42 otthe portion 6 and the margin 19 A ot the blank cut by the aid of thepattern part l.

lt the hand covering is to have a closed wrist, it is completed by themethod of procedure above outlined except for the provision of a wristor entiq portion. It it is to be open and adapted to be closed bybuttons or clasps, then an incision is made along the line 2l ot theblank cut by the aid of the pattern part 1, the edges of the incisionare suitably linished, and the buttons or clasps are applied. Figures 4,5, 6 and 7 illustrate various pattern parts 'from which wrist bands orcuffs may be prepared. For es:- ample Figure 4 illustrates a patternpart designated in general by the numeral 44 and by the use of which twoblanks are to be cnt which blanks may be stitched together along eitherlateral edge 45 and then united along the curvilinear lower edge 46 tothe marginal portion 16 ot the partly completed glove prepared as abovedescribed. lThe pattern part 44 may be provided with a suitableidentifying legend, and directions 4T Jfor its use may be printed uponeither or both sides thereof. Also a suitable legend 48, as tor exampleAttach to glove here77 may be printed adjacent the margin 46, and.instructions as to seaming or over-edging may be printed' adjacent theopposite margin. A different type of gauntlet cuff pattern part isillustrated in Figure 5 and indicated in general by the numeral 49 andas will be evidenced by a reference to'said gure, bears legends andinstructions similar to those upon the pattern part 4. A wrist bandpattern part is illustrated in Figure G and indicated in general by thenumeral 50 and likewise bears printed instructions and legends similarto those upon the pattern parts 44 and 49. Also this pattern part 50 maybe printed with an incision indicating line 51 accompanied by suitableinstructions or a legend, indicating the point at whichthe incision isto be made in the blank cut from the part, and a but ton or clasp is tobe employed. As the use of the blanks cut by the aid ot the patternparts 44, 49 50 and 52 is obvious, it is thought that 'furtherdescription is unnecessary.

It will be understood that the lower portion vof the part 3 and thelower portions 33, 37 and 4l of the pattern parts 29, 8O and 31 are toyconstitute the back of the hand covering in the blanks eut by the aidot these parts.

vFigure 8 orp the drawings illustrates one of a pair of pattern parts,indicated by the numeral 53, which is to be employed in cuttingl blanksfrom which a sleeve protector is to be produced, this protector beingemployed in connection with the hand covering proper by being united atone end to the wrist por tion of the said covering as will be readilyunderstood. This pattern part 53 comprises a relatively broadupperfportion 54 and a narrower lower end portion 55, the pattern parthaving a straight longitudinal edge 5G, upper and lower end edges 57 and58 respectively which extend at right angles to the edge 56 and arestraight, and another lengt tudinal or lateral edge which is indicatedby the numeral 59 and which is extended diagonally with relation to theother edges oit the blank and slightly curved throughout its length.Upon its face the pattern part will bear, near the edge 58, a suitablelegend indicating that this edge portion is to be united to the glove orother hand covering, this legend being indicated by the numeral 60. Inlike manner the pattern part bears upon its face, near its edge 57, alegend 6l indicating the mannerin which this edge portion ot thecorresponding blank cutfro'm the pattern is to be finished and providedwith a closing means whereby it may be held about the forearm of thewearer ot the hand covering.

Other directions or legends as indicated by the numerals 62 and 63 iaylikewise be printed upon the face ot the pattern part near the edges 5,6and 59 respectively.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is y 1. Aglove pattern comprising a plurality oit parts having the marginalcontours of the component blank members of the glove which theyrepresent and provided at inten vals adjacent their ,margins withsymbols having an establishedsequence yand indicagins with symbolsindicative of the manner in Which members eut by the aid of the patternparts are to be assembled and their margins progressively united tocomplete the hand covering.

3. A pattern for a hand covering comprising a plurality of parts havingthe marginal contours of the Component members of the hand coveringwhich they represent, the parts being provided marginally atpredetermined polnts with corresponding symbols having an establishedknown sequence and therefore indicative of the manner in which themembers cut by the aid of' the pattern parts are to be assembled andtheir margins progressively united to Complete the hand covering.

4. A pattern for a hand covering comprising a plurality of parts havingthe marginal contours of the component members of the hand coveringwhich they represent, one of said pattern parts representing the indexfinger stall complete, the palm portion of the hand covering, andportions of the thumb, rst finger, second finger and little fingerstalls, and other pattern parts representing the other portions of thethumb, first linger, second finger and little finger stalls.

5. A pattern for a hand covering eomprising a plurality of parts havingthe marginal contours of the component members of the hand coveringwhich they represent, one 'of said pattern parts representing the indexfinger stall complete, the palm portionof the band covering, andportions of the thumb, first finger, second finger and little fingerstalls, and other pattern parts representing the other portions of thethumb, first finger, second finger and little nger stalls, thefirst-mentioned pat-tern part having an indicated incision extendingfrom its Wrist line to indicate Where an incision is to be made in theWrist portion of the completed article if the same is to be of theopen-wrist type.

In testimony whereof I ai'iix my signature.
